How many cals should I eat in a day?

I am so lost in how many cals I should eat in a day! I had 3 babies in 3 years so I packed on ALOT of weight and with prayer, a very low cal diet, and lots of exercise I've lost 87lbs which would be 50lbs less than my normal weight was. I was eating between 800 - 900 cals a day intill I learned it was very dangerous. So just recently I've started to eat 1000 - 1200 cals a day based on a sight I found but I can't help but wonder is this right????

Thank you in advance for all of your answers and help God bless you all :)

    To find out how many calories to eat, you can go to the USDA's MyPyramid website. You input your info like age, weight, height, activity level, etc. and it will tell you how much you relatively how much you should be consuming.

    Also, a very low calorie diet for a female is less than 1200. So right now you're still on a very low calorie diet.
